Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a normal day like any other day. I was getting the kids ready for school/daycare. I work for the Military full-time and decided to take that week off. That morning I decided to put my military PTS on because they are so confortable and through my hair in a pony tail and the darnest thing I asked my son "is today a holiday"? He looked at me and said "No". To this day I still don't know why I said this. After dropping the kids off, I decided to head for the college so I could buy my book for class. I would say it was probably near 8:50 at this time. I started going thru the radio channels and a man came on and said a plane went into the world trade center. I couldn't believe it. I ran in the book store and bought my book. As I was heading back toward Auburn, MA (I felt like shopping that day) I guess all the planes in the air were ordered to land. I was near Worcester air port and the planes were coming in. I have never seen so many big airplanes coming in all at once. It was a very scary site. The people on the radio were at this time reporting another plane going into the World trade center. I knew right then we were under attach. The first time could have been an accident but not the second. I headed on 290 West and got off on exit 9 which was near rt 12/290 and I stopped at the set of lights and listened to the radio. As I was sitting their a man with dark eyes and arabic features was starring at me. I looked at him but quickly looked away because of the look on his face. It was 0935. As the man approached me because he was taken a right turn toward rt 290/mass pike. I looked at him again and this time he took his left hand and slid it accross his throat like to slit it. It was a matter of seconds I just sat their saying to myself, "He didn't do what I think he did"??I proceeded to the mall and it really didn't hit me until I saw the planes hitting the WWTc on TV. I was scarred and I told everyone about it. What really frightens me is after this man did this to me two minutes later a plane went into the pentagon. Two months later I was sitting at the ford dealership getting my truck worked on and an older gentleman was sitting their too. I told him this story and he told me he was on the masspike and spotted an arabic looking (suspicious) man driving in a white truck and he called the police. All I can wonder if it was the same man who I saw and threated me. It made me feel better but I still to this day live in fear. Rodna M.
